Correct play for B1

Protect, anyway

W4 at BC.

Because W2 will force a protective move, anyway. Even if Black can play B3 - W4 with sente, Black will have to play B5.

OTOH, if Black plays at a, he threatens B2, saving BC.

It is a very close call. Depending on the rest of the board, B1 could be better.
